Getty Villa Mosaic Mind Bender Puzzle

This jigsaw puzzle features details from three different mosaics at the Getty Villa in Malibu, California. The centerpiece is a section of a magnificent inlaid mosaic reproduction of a first-century BC pavement from the Villa dei Papiri at Herculaneum. The animals and portraits of the four seasons in the corners are from a Gallo-Roman stone-and-glass floor mosaic (AD 150-200), and the vertical bars down the sides are taken from a mesmerizing Roman floor mosaic (AD 115-150) with concentric bands of black and white triangles that create an optical illusion.

The J. Paul Getty Trust, the world's largest cultural and philanthropic organization dedicated to the visual arts, is committed to critical thinking in the presentation, conservation, and interpretation of the world's artistic legacy.
